Chapter 34

Time passed to mid-June.

"I'm so tired. I really don't know how Hikigaya managed to hold on."

Gokou Ruri felt annoyed and couldn't help scratching her hair.

Recently, in addition to improving her experience and reading various light novels, she was also busy with the Newcomer Award submission and comic exhibition fan fiction.

At the same time, she had to go to school, and the combination of several things made her really overwhelmed.

But she heard from Komachi that when Hikigaya first started studying, he locked himself in his room for a whole summer vacation and hardly relaxed. The intensity would only be higher than her current one.

After all, her actual workload is not very high now, and it is even less than the work intensity of Hikigaya after his official debut.

"What Hikigaya can do, there is no reason why I can't do it!"

When she thought of this, Gokou Ruri forced herself to cheer up again.

There may be a gap in talent, but at least she doesn't want to lack in terms of dedication.

On the other side.

"That guy is improving so fast, what is he trying to say? If he continues like this, his sales may really surpass mine... Even if this book doesn't work, if he writes about popular topics in the next book..."

Yamada Fairy accidentally saw the news of the sales update of "Summer Returns" and suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

If it was someone who had nothing to do with her, she would not care at all, but if someone who you always think is inferior to you surpassed you, the sense of frustration would be extremely strong.

Although she actually admitted in her heart that she might be a little bit worse than that guy in terms of writing, sales were her real bottom line.

"Then let's work harder today!"

Yamada Fairy's eyes were stern, and she opened a literary work and prepared to study it carefully.

Just ten minutes later.

"I've tried hard today, so I'll try harder tomorrow."

She threw it away, picked up her phone again, and played the card drawing game.

54 Miss Yamada can no longer satisfy me

One day after school.

Hikigaya Hachiman had just walked out of the school gate when he suddenly heard a shout of joy.

"Senior!"

He turned his head and looked.

A beautiful silver-haired girl in a blue and white checkered short-sleeved shirt trotted over, her small face full of joy, her eyes as piercing as water.

The most important thing was that from his perspective, the girl's upright chest was really eye-catching, and it was a level that was quite rare among her peers.

The appearance of Karina Yuta immediately attracted the attention of passing students, after all, beautiful girls of this level were rare.

This beauty was also one of the reasons why she was isolated.

Because of her arrival, Hikigaya Hachiman felt that his presence suddenly rose to the level of a normal person.

"Let's go."

He nodded calmly and walked forward.

"Yes, senior."

Karina Yuta followed closely.

Until they arrived at the place where the two met.

"Would you like something to drink?"

Hikigaya Hachiman put a coin into the vending machine in front of him and chose a can of Coke first.

"Same as senior."

Kara Nayuta said with a smile.

"Why did you come so early today? And you blocked me at the school gate."

Sitting on the bench, he took a sip of Coke and asked his doubts.

Before, the girl always made an appointment to meet him by calling through a phone booth, otherwise she would not be able to wait for him if she directly waited there, after all, he would go back to the department and would not stay in school.

"I asked for leave this afternoon, so I came early. Of course, I didn't tell senior to give him a surprise~"

Kara Nayuta said lively with a can in her hand.

"Is that so?"

Hikigaya Hachiman's expression remained unchanged and he took another sip of Coke.

"By the way, senior, let's exchange email addresses? And other contact information is also required, so that we can contact each other at any time without so much trouble."

Karenayuta took out a light silver smartphone from her pocket and shook it in front of him, smiling sweetly.

"Well, it's okay, but... you don't seem to have much money now? If you are in trouble, I can lend you some."

Hikigaya Hachiman knew the girl's current situation, so he took the initiative to propose.

"It's okay, senior, I participated in a campus essay contest some time ago and won a bonus. You don't have to worry about me, but I feel your kindness."

Karenayuta put her right hand on her chest and smiled gently.

'This seems to be an opportunity. '

Hikigaya Hachiman thought flashed in his mind.

...

After the two sides exchanged contact information.

"Great."

Karenayuta looked at the only friend who had appeared in the chat software, and felt happy.

"Well, Honda-chan, you have a great talent for literature since you won the grand prize in the essay contest, right? So... have you ever thought about writing a novel?"

At this time, she heard another voice in her ear.

"Senior, are you saying that you want to teach me how to write a novel? It would be nice if I could become your apprentice."

The girl's eyes lit up immediately.

"No need to become your apprentice, but we can communicate with each other."

Hikigaya Hachiman shook his head.

"So, do you want to be a light novelist?"

He said this with great certainty, as if the other party would be able to debut as long as he was willing.

"Of course, if you can debut successfully, you can make a lot of money, right?"

Kari Nayuta felt that this proposal was very tempting, because she also wanted to be truly independent and have her own life.

More importantly, this way she could have common topics with her seniors!

When he was free on the weekend, Hikigaya Hachiman contacted Kanayuta through his mobile phone. He first arranged a place to send her a light novel that was popular in the industry recently. After returning home, he also reminded her of the things she needed to pay attention to when writing light novels.

Me: If there is anything you don’t understand, you can ask me.

Honda Junior: OK, senior! I will not disappoint you, I will work hard to learn how to write!

After the conversation, Kanayuta turned her mind to understanding light novels.

If you want to write a good light novel, you must first understand the difference between it and composition, prose or serious novels, and then consider the outline, ideas and methods of writing.

About a month later, after asking many questions and with his help, Kanayuta began to write her first light novel.

Although it was help, Hikigaya Hachiman actually felt that he did not teach anything. It was completely different from when he faced Gogen. The other party could quickly draw inferences from one example and mastered it as soon as he learned it.

"This is the difference in talent. If Gogen knew, I wonder what kind of expression he would have."

He sighed in his heart.

But now he didn't feel frustrated, but felt a little happy.

In the process of common progress, Miss Yamada has gradually failed to satisfy him, and the sudden appearance of Kana Nayuta just filled this gap.

Only from the strong can we learn more and stimulate stronger potential. Writing in different states will have a great difference in the quality of writing!

At this time, the sales notice of the sixth volume of "Summer Reappearance" also appeared.

The cover is a sea area, and Shadow Tide hugs his legs with his hands, as if he is in a permanent sleep...

Readers have been waiting for this day to come. At this moment, seeing such a suggestive cover, they suddenly have different ideas.

The most superficial understanding is that this means that Shadow Tide has fallen into a deep sleep, or it can be understood as direct death, so many people have expressed unhappy opinions.

But people who understand it more deeply know the meaning of this cover, and suddenly feel a sense of enlightenment.

"So that's how it is... It's really like that! It seems that the guess in the forum is right!"

After seeing the preview cover of this volume, Eriri showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. Combined with the details that the OP had deducted from a post she saw in the novel forum, many lines were connected together in an instant.

The shadow tide that was killed by the sneak attack was actually brought out from the previous reincarnations, and it is not unique!

In other words, the shadow tide still exists in each reincarnation, but it has not come to this moment before!

If she can think of it, naturally others can think of it too.

Many people who have read the post immediately returned to the post to leave a message...

"The God Post has come true!"

"As expected, the OP's guess has come true!"

"Leave your name before the fire."

"I seriously suspect that the OP is the smurf of Yuese Laozei, please prove it yourself!"

As this information fermented, both the comment area and the spontaneously formed book friend groups were filled with a happy atmosphere again.

55 A surprise for Miss Sonoko

Just two days before the release of the sixth volume of "Summer Returns", Karina Yuta had already completed her novel.

Although Hikigaya Hachiman knew what kind of story she was going to write through some of her questions, it was only the outline, and he had no idea about the specific presentation effect.

So he couldn't wait to see this work.

Karina Yuta didn't type on her phone. Like Gokou Ruri, she wrote by hand.

So Karina Yuta asked the two parties to meet offline, so that it would be easier to talk.

The two agreed to meet at a cafe.

Karina Yuta pushed the door open, glanced around, and finally landed on one place.

"Senior, I'm here!"

She waved and ran over.

"Slow down, don't fall."

He noticed something and reminded her.

"Hey, senior, are you worried about me?"

Karina Yuta sat down face to face with him, showing a heartfelt smile.

"Did you bring it?"

Hikigaya Hachiman just said silently.

"Here."

The girl took out her notebook from her bag.

After ordering the drinks, Hikigaya Hachiman focused on reading.

Although it was handwritten, the girl's words were very beautiful and easy to recognize. It was pleasing to the eye. If she participated in a calligraphy competition, she would probably win a prize.
